Merdifex posted:Holocaust denial is the same as not believing in scientific racism and hereditist ideology. No wonder rationalists and right-wing ideologues love Haidt. I feel like his use of the term "War-crime" instead of "Holocaust" is some kind of dogwhistle but I can't put my finger on it

To bring it back on topic, every now and then he slams the kind of person this thread makes fun of by making it clear the world was not a better place during the historic times he talks about

Woolie Wool posted:He's also the only one who didn't surround himself with a cadre of nerdy technocrats...gee, that sure is a coincidence... Which is ironic because he wanted to take Cambodia back to an idealized 12th century version of itself, which is like 90% of what these jerks want. Unfortunately the other 10% which is to keep computers and the internet going strong in your medieval fiefdom is just as important

I spent a week in a place with unreliable wifi so I'm just catching up to this thread and I wanted to quote this:Cingulate posted:I definitely derive more pleasure from people being extremely angry at there being a Black guy and a white evil guy and a woman who (I hope) doesn't have to be rescued, but does rescuing herself in the new Star Wars movie than I ever could from the movie itself. I really hope they make the next movie really glaringly obvious in that sense (even more than Star Wars originally was, with the all-white all-male Star Destroyer crews and the ragtag rebel group). Like, the Sith symbol looks like a swastika, the evil guys include four blonde men, the evil dark lord is a wife beater, the Jedi get a gay latino boss, Boyega kissing the Whitest woman possible on all of the movie posters and in the key scene where the film's stupid space dick explodes, and so on. Because Kylo Ren is the very picture of most DE jackasses. He looks mildly attractive and would look a lot better if he just got a decent shower and haircut, throws the biggest whiny baby tantrums at the drop of the hat , has cool parents who wonder where exactly they went wrong, worships totems from an idealized past, and talks a big game but could not win a fight against an opponent who knows what they're doing

Oligopsony posted:Someone on rationalist Tumblr mentioned that reading this thread gives them suicidal urges, so maybe we should tone-police a little more re:generalizations and stuff? Seems like the right/SJWy thing to do. (I'm phrasing this in a goofy way because that's the only register I know, but I do mean it seriously, maybe because I've gotten suicidal urges over strange things myself over the years.) Well as a fellow depressed person who occasionally thinks about that sorta thing, I can admit I'm probably being jokey and dismissive to stuff they may have put a lot of thought and research into and that probably doesn't help their moods. Then again if I talked about my suicidal tendencies while being against their side they'd get jokey and dismissive about me too so it evens out

Merdifex posted:When rationalists like a lovely person, they aren't liking said person as is, but a more meta conception of them where they're not a lovely person. Here's how you rationally go about being friends with neoreactionaries. To be fair I would say that's how most people feel about most celebrities they like. The weirdness comes from trying to justify it. You can't just pull back the curtain, push it back down and then expect everyone to carry on like they didn't see what's on the other side of the curtain

Merdifex posted:He just took some very loosely leftist precepts and added a lot of his own bullshit on that; essentially this "alt-left" is just "leftism" that Wesley likes because it reaches the same racist conclusions he did through his optimization for intelligence. Yeah if there's an "Alt-left" that's on the same level as the "Alt-right" then it's the sixteen year old on tumblr ranting about microaggressions to be a perfect counter to the sixteen year old on a -chan board who uses racial slurs like they're commas. There's already a word for what Nydwracu is talking about, people who support gay marriage and socialized medicine while also being incredibly racist: it's"Brogressive" and it's been in the popular lexicon for years

Nessus posted:The entire gimmick of Undertale, other than the wacky Homestuckiness and poo poo, is that it makes a common game trope (random monsters who you kill just because it's the way it is) into an axis of moral choice. Obviously in order to make this point it creates an environment where you are never/almost never in a place where we might consider killing in self defense to be morally laudable, and the game itself even has a character that remarks "there's a lot of bad people out there. You can't always hug it out." That's the thing, in a funny way there is a "Real" version of Undertale that Ragged Jack Scarlet is talking about. It's called "Every RPG ever made" and it sounds boring and not thought provoking at all

Heath posted:I have never understood this weird marriage of eugenics and miscegenation being a bad thing. It seems like in order to make a stronger race you would want to crossbreed diverse populations as much as possible. A biologist I know once put it succinctly: The people who first suggested eugenics in theory wanted to create a better humanity, while the people who applied eugenics in practice believed they already were the better humans.

Not that I've heard. When people talk about the book's runaway success they usually talk about how the Kindle erotica market was a rich vein just waiting to be tapped and she was just the first one through the gate.

I'm not even just saying that because it's a German name either, because I took 3 years of German and knew a lot of exchange students and none of them triggered this mental connection the way ol' Hans here does. Before I found out he was alive and still vomiting forth half baked ancap screeds and calling it economic theory I always assumed Hoppe was part of a lesser known German offshoot of the Physiocrats

So the guy had a livestream along with some other guy when Jenni Goodchild sent a message if she could join in for a talk, so they let her in. Not entirely sure who she is, but she's a feminist and critical of the whole gamergate thing. So they started to debate. There was another time more recently where he willingly entered into a formalized debate with a feminist professor. The results... Were not pretty. She kicked him to the curb

He is just the most pathetic gently caress out of all the alt righters. Dude tries so hard to be edgy and "intellectual" it's not even funny. You can tell he feels insecure as gently caress. Aurini's the bald one, Owen's the bathtub guy Also the Witcher 3 definitely told a good story using a sandbox setting but I'd like to mention Fallout New Vegas for its ability to draw almost every quest and sidequest into the main story so that everything had a visible effect on how the final battle plays out.

Yeah I'm agreeing with this.

TinTower posted:So help me out, guys, on how to figure out this guy. He says he's a Marxist-Leninist but a lot of his viewpoints seem very far-rightish. Like, for example, the sedevacantism borne out of the Catholic Church being full of gays. It is an achingly normal occurence for wannabe revolutionaries with poorly ironed on Lenin shirts to decry "Identity politics" as a distraction to keep us workers from uniting against the real enemies. A depressingly large number of them harbor racist viewpoints and think that's a good enough smokescreen.
